Breast cancer is the common malignant tumor, the incidence increases with age. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a new technique applied in tumors, which involves the administration of a tumor localizing photosensitizer and it is followed by the activation of a specific wavelength. Pyropheophorbide-a methyl ester (MPPa), a derivative of chlorophyll, is a novel potent photosensitizer. We are exploring the photodynamic effect caused by MPPa-PDT on breast cancer. The in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that MPPa is a comparatively ideal photosensitizer which can induce apoptosis in breast cancer.
